Its a great show. Last year I think that they had just under 1500 register and right around 1350 attend. Its not just Mustangs, anything Ford powered is welcome. There is usually a few Sunbeam Tigers and a couple of Alpines, a couple of Panteras and such. And this one guy always brings his flat head powered motorcycle. Kinda like a Boss Hoss but with a Ford Flathead V8. Pretty cool show if you do ever go make sure that you get there early enough not to get stuck by the giraffe pen. Those suckers stink bad

Not quite Fla. but only a couple of miles above the Fla. line. Still enjoy the plesant winters here and only a little over an hour north of Panama City. I've spent alot of time up North and there is some beautiful country there but you guys can have the snow and salty roads.

Yeah dude, I used to have the contracts with Ruby Tuesday and Applebees to install their awnings. I've been to North Brunswick, I think I did the Roadrunner shoe store there. Bright orange awnings but that was this past summer. Its a nice town but I wouldn't want to be there now. Its not much better down here today, got down to the 20s last night and it's going to be colder tonight. But, give it a few days it will be back in the 70s here.

We are running almost the same thing, it took me almost 10 years and 3 diff motors to come up with this combo. I have a few more mods, thats just all I could fit in my sig. 11.5:1 comp. BBK cold air intake, Diablo turner, no ac or smog pump, underdrive pulleys, Hurst shifter, windage tray, DSS main support system, Megabite Jr lower control arms, Kenny Brown subs, Ebiach drag springs, Lakewood drag shocks, Lakewood 90/10 struts, 6pt cage, 150 shot. Off the top of my head I think thats about it. Panhandle Performance did my dyno work. Its pushing about 350 on the motor and just over 500hp on the bottle. My best time in the 1/8 has been an 8.02 on motor and 7.21 on the bottle. There is no 1/4 track near where I live so I have only been on one a couple of times but I know it will run low 11s. The funny thing is that I used to have a red 89 gt that looked just like yours. Saleen wing 2 1/2" cowl hood and cobra r rims.

The block is a level 10 race prepped, you can check out what all is in it at www.dssracing.com, its supposed to handle 650hp. So far I have no complaints but as we all know nothing is unbreakable.
